Pen-crug-melyn, GW/MW-036 - 326m ASL - SN 502 285 - OS Explorer 186 - 1 SOTA point            

SOTA road trip, Day 3 - Monday 3rd August 2020

From Mynydd Sylen GW/SW-036, I followed the satnav to Pen-crug-melyn.  I knew parking options would be very limited on the narrow cul-de-sac lane outside the farm, but fortunately there was space for me to tuck in my car on the verge.

I walked up the track leading to Pen-crug-melyn farmhouse, but did not enter the main yard.  Instead, I diverted left onto rough ground and approached the summit directly.  The trig point could be seen atop a grass bank just the other side of a wire fence.  I remained on this side of the fence and set up my antenna.  Four contacts came in just two minutes on 17m CW - but then no-one else called despite a self-spot and more CQs from me.  I didn't really want to leave the car on that verge for too long anyway, and I had plenty of summits to go at in the day, so I packed up and got away to the next one on the list - Mynydd Cynros GW/MW-034.
